Can't rule it it out. He has to my mind DEFINITELY done it once or twice. But overall I don't think that's happening a lot. I think he's a baller. And when he makes a mistake he is stunned and goes and chases it as hard as possible and as fast as possible. And when it doesn't work, it can look like that (which for the record is 24 points and a win - exact same as Mahomes produced yesterday 🤷🏽♂️). But more often he nails the next play and we go down and score and all is forgotten. It doesn't linger in the performance. It's the exact same set of qualities that let him go on all time heaters - that's just the good side of the coin. Same happened last night to be honest - they can lie all they want, but there are 31 other teams who would love to have what he can do when he's "on". He's just better than everyone else. That 4th and 7 play would be making most QBs all time career highlight videos, 17 does it once a week. He is wired to be extreme - feel it and he is an unstoppable football machine. Can't feel it that day - press, press, press, trying to find it. And he often does find it in the end. As he did yesterday. I just accept it as part of the deal - it's as much a part of him as the other 17/20 performances in the season when he's the best player on the field. That's just who this kid is - and he will be until he wins a Superbowl. Then and only then might he change.

I think all QBs do, we just don't notice it as much. And he makes his own (absurdly) high standards - that simply can't be met every week. Sport just doesn't work like that. Secondly, it typically leads to a Bills loss and soul searching / international detective enquiries as to why we lost a game. Whereas when guys like Mahomes, Lamar, Stafford, Darnold, Stroud do it - oftentimes their defence bails them out and everyone forgets they played like ass - and Josh gets pelted all week for the loss. So on some level the most exciting thing last night was that he got bailed out. The boy has sure earned some leeway given he has been the baddest MFer in the league for about 5 years now!

Around the NFL Thread - Week#1 (No Bills stuff please)
ScottishBills replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Don't mind Bucs @ Bengals either - two good QBs Interesting new Bengals D and hopefully some Baker heroics! -
True for anyone we place there today. But tomorrow we can put 2 players on and they ARE eligible to come back into the 53 (meaning we can "retain" 55 players by putting two lightly injured players on there and keeping hold of someone we think might get claimed on waivers instead) But would count as 2 of the maximum 8 you can bring off IR in a season So basically guys you are almost sure you will bring into the 53 at some point.

Tough schedule this year - highly likely to be multiple games decided by 3pts... Additionally these are not random misses, shaky ground - he is banging them wide right - he has a fundamental issue that he hasn't sorted in 3 years Even the ones he makes are all tailing that way
-
Bowery's plate just got a bit fuller. Reports seem to have been pretty positive on the rookie so far
-
Not that they owe me anything, but very disappointed by the complete lack of info on injuries - just give us day to day, week or week, or longer term, don't need huge specifics if the player prefers to keep that private Would be nice to know if we have our C or any defensive backfield going into week 1

Go BOLD - NFL bold predictions 2026 edition!!
ScottishBills replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well there's bold and there is whatever these two are!! 😱😱 Bills 1) Kincaid goes over 1000 with 8+ TDs and then signs the richest TE contract in history 2) More sacks than any year from the McD reign 3) Slay the Chiefs curse in the wildcard round at a rabid Highmark stadium, registering the loudest ever noise level at an NFL game 4) Jackson Hawes has more catches than Skyler Bell NFL 1) Bengals number one seed in the AFC 2) Eagles miss the playoffs 3) Broncos finish 3rd in their division 4) Cowboys finally reach a title game after 30 years. And lose to the Rams obviously. -
Observations about where we think the Bills are
ScottishBills replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Think the offence is going to be very good (floor) to awesome (ceiling) - that's just life with 17 Just to answer whether will take a step further to greatness - i am very much in the camp of no - he's already there He is the most dangerous mofo in the history of the NFL - literally no-one scores more touchdowns than him - not those who are "better readers of defenses", not those who have the "clutch gene", not those who have incredible receivers to lean on, not those who "take care of the ball better" - nobody. The guy is the truth. Not his issue some people cant understand there are sometimes more turnovers when you are that attacking. Moore eases the pressure by creating more normal spacing on the field rather than everyone just ignoring our WRs and leaving corners on islands, and closing in right to the line of scrimmage. Brady has already shown he can take care of his side of the ball - now did he pick the right DC - and can he keep his ***** together with more on his plate Defense is massive unknowns for all sorts of reasons - coaching, scheme, players - the real question is whether and how many of the various investments produce something that means we don't need 33 points to win a playoff game - Sanders, Jackson, Parker, Chubb, Hairston, IGB, Carter - we desperately need at least 2 to hit - if 3 or more become good players - LOOK OUT! -

‘26 Bills rushing attack -what to expect & fear
ScottishBills replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Such a cheap strawman argument. I'm sure there is the odd idiot who thinks that - but more than that there are a good number of people who have watched enough ball to know it is sub-optimal to run a rush=heavy ball control offence when you have 17. I understand if the Jets do with Geno Smith, or the Raiders do it with Mendoza early on - it makes total sense. But it also make sense with Josh Allen to drop back and throw the damn ball. Especially on a nearly free down at 2nd and 2, the whole league knows that's a play action shot - except Brady who wants to run it again. None of which to day anyone hates a good rushing attack - that would be dumb - but we could definitely increase the passing 10% and see gains from doing that. Which is exactly what I expect they will do now Brady gets to run his own show and they have slightly better WR room (on paper anyway) -
Ah well I live up here, but am an England fan (and Spurs and Bills - it's a heck of a way to spend your free time 😭😭) On the skirts - people will love them by the time Scotland come out to play the US in the final on the White House lawn, with Zuckerberg in goal for Scotland due to the normal keeper having his visa revoked; refereed by Kid Rock whilst Vanilla Ice denounces the whole affair as "totally gay dude" over the loudspeaker. So many things to love about the US, the people and the sports. But like Russia and Qatar before them, a truly sucky place for a WC. And that's before you get to Infantino and his POTUS glazing baldy head 💯 Group stages have been rendered largely pointless, with close to zero jeopardy. Bring on the knockouts

And thought AJ Brown - AJ Brown!!! - would be less hassle 🤣 If Beane brought back Diggs I would be officially out of things to say about him - you would just have to conclude he is dumb As it is, the criticism of him (by me anyway) relates to his complete inability to get a couple actual elite players on the roster other than Josh - truth be told he is really really good at most other GM things. Diggs is not even close to being elite at this point. Not to forget he is a total dcik

Cannot believe there are Bills fans who want this goof back Performative moron on the sidelines Utterly ineffective in the money games in January Forced his way out and simultaneously wrecked our WR room and plans Keep him the heck away from the new stadium!
